    New chicken mom in Sacramento

    Hello fellow Sacramenten, congrats. My hens haven't started laying yet but one of the ducks has and the difference in taste and quality is immense IMO.

    Funny! Broody Silkie found laying on frozen peach!!

    Too funny. Guess she was keeping cool. I didn't even know chickens would eat fruit let alone frozen fruit. Guess I still have some reasearch to do (I just added 2 poulets to my flock).

    What's the name of your chicken coop? "Chicken" Hilton here

    I'm selling my excess veggies and fruit from my garden under the name Penny Acre Farm, the excess eggs will be sold as well (when they start laying that is)....so I HAD to have "penny" in the names. I also love the show Charmed. So the coop will be named P3, short for Poultry Pence Palace, and...

    Why do you guys keep duck, geese, swan, etc?

    I just started to keep geese and ducks. The geese are for lawnmowing, eating, eggs, and to be a "watch dog" of sorts. The ducks are for eggs, bug eradication and eating. I really want a peacock as well and if I had the space a pair of swans. Also I like the looks and personalities better and...

    Gimme strength, Duck processing day has arrived

    Quote: How did you go about it...as in what method? I'm trying to figure out the quickest least painfull way to process my 2 drakes and a gander, though they have a few more months of sun, fresh air, grass and such before they are of a good enough weight to process. I have to do the deed...

    How do I get them to go in the pool?

    I'm new to ducks myself but @ about 2-3 weeks of age my little flock of 3 ducklings and a gosling were in dire need of a bath so I used a low plastic container and warm water and dumped one in...the first one came out as quick as I put it in so I put 2 at the same time and they stayed in and the...
